EVO 2014 Preview, Streams & Schedule (July 11-13) Live from Las Vegas! Plus What is EVO? And Japanese USF4 tier list!

Sub chat for Capcomfighters is still AIDS just with less humor involved.

I like Aris and if he's controversial that just makes it more compelling generally, for the same reason Ozzie Guillen is the best possible baseball commentator imaginable.

@l1ghtn1n: Agreed!

Xrd spot on Madcatz stream in ~30 minutes.

You might not like some of the controversy surrounding him, but he entertains and he knows his shit. Just don't pile on the guy for mistakes he made in the past. The stuff he did for the community far outweighs his errors.

Harada just came on SRKEVO2 saying there is an announcement from him before USF4 on Sunday. Finally going to see TxSF?

Harada (Tekken franchise) just crashed the TTT2 commentators seat and said he has an announcement to make just before USF4 on Sunday.

TKxSF?
Tekken 7?

HYPE!!!!

@trafalgarlaw: It has to be Tekken x Street Fighter, though Tekken 7 on new hardware would be rad.

I'm hoping for Tekken 7. TTT2 was so great, I can only imagine a TTT3 based of off T7/8.
Tekken players just don't care for anything Street Fighter.

If it's Tekken x Street Fighter, I may freak out. Been waiting for a snippet of anything from that.

Edit: That Cammy vs Bison/Vega fight was CLOSE!

Match of the day right there, K-Brad pulls out the win!

Wow I knew there was a decent amount of pad players, but who the hell uses a 360 pad? Isn't it renowned as one of the worst pads for fighting games?

@zella: I tried playing Tekken with a 360 pad once and it was nigh-unusable.

@zella: If they're anything like me they use the Analog Stick and not the garbage-tier D-Pad.

He turned to Justin like he was saying "My god, I almost lost in pools!!!"

TAKKEN

High level Tekken is fantastic. Sad Tekken isn't super big in the US.

Harada-san with an announcement just before the USF4 finals on Sunday, I will laugh hard if it's Tekken X Street Fighter.

MarlinPie!!!!! So glad to see him, it's been too long.

Edit: I know it was a mistake but damn that taunt!

@l1ghtn1n: Pirate guy did well, ProblemX bodies Ryan Hart daily.

They use analog most of the time. It works just fine, I used analog for Urien in Third Strike for my PS2 because the D-pad would leave marks on my thumb.

@jjor64: I'm pretty good at other fighting games but man am I terrible at Tekken, lots of respect for these guys.

YOOO DAIGOOOOOO

EDIT: Too bad it's against a Honda

Wow... Daigo... Is looking strong...

The Satsui no Hado has consumed him.

Daigo appears to be carrying his own stick around, insanity!

How did MarlinPie do? I was too enamored with XRD Stream. What a fucking gorgeous game. Also that Lilith cosplayer playin ZATO-SAMAAAAAAA...

@viciousbearmauling: I dunno, he missed those two FADC combos.

@starvinggamer: He also FADC'd to a perfect for style, Infiltration would be disgusted.

@starvinggamer: He's gotta keep it interesting

I haven't been keeping up with Tekken. Has anyone put up a reasonable challenge against Ao?

Also, Capcom Providing Special In-Game Title for Evo 2014′s Ultra Street Fighter IV Champion.

I loved that match between K-Brad and the Australian Bison whose name escapes me. And after seeing Daigo's E.Ryu I really want to see him match up against Sako's.

I'm surprised that Fuerte didn't perfect Mike Ross and have him ragequit

Mike Ross is a Fraud anyway

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/ is open for the remainder of day 1 of EVO 2014!

Time to head to Taco Bell for some Dew and then go see Planet of the Apes.

Also, Justin saying Velociraptor put Infiltration in losers?

@syz: https://twitter.com/evo2k/status/487768426710986752

FChamp just put Daigo in losers. KILLERS EVERYWHERE!!

I love EVO to death, BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT SHOW INFILTRATION VS VELOCIRAPTOR OR F CHAMP VS DAIGO?!?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well Daigo is out...

Because showing every match with a top player in it would take about a week.

Need to invest in multiple streams for next year.

Match of the night was DEFINITELY SNAKEEYEZ vs XIAN.

That LAST SECOND time out finish was fucking NUUUUUUUUUUTS man.

Very hype for top 8 come sunday. Hope Marvel and BB bring a good showing tomorrow.

Top 8 is still solid, top 32 was a bit sketchy with all the drop outs; but still some really good matches in there. Momochi probably beats Snake Eyez if they get to that point, but if someone else takes out Momochi I think he has a solid chance.

What a day. More hype tomorrow!

So gutted about Filipino Man and Daigo, but I'll accept Snake Eyez and Luffy.

Very productive day for me today. Just sat on my ass and watched EVO. That was literally all I did.

Yeah, I really hope they have two streams for USF4 next year. I mean, I had to practically follow Twitter feeds to find out who won the other half of the brackets. I remember that they had two streams for Street Fighter last year, but I'm not sure why they didn't do it this year. Such a shame. So many fantastic loser bracket matches weren't on stream at all. Wanted to see the people's champ Mike Ross a bit more on stream, cause he had a pretty great run.

Same. Literally at 8 AM to the end of WNF vs NLBC exhibition.

It sucks when Mike Ross almost gets into Top 8, but gets bodied offstream. Hell, most of the fan favorites got rekt off to the side.

EVO pls.
